definitately to surpervise the implementation of toy libraries at all these
centers. At Kolad , our interns visited all the 5 Zilla Parishad Schools that
we catered to last year in association with Institute of Social Serivice, we
were happy to learn from the teachers that there was an improvement in the
school attendance.

Visit to our Wada centers

teachers are using the games in their classroom teaching and also helping the
children to learn new games. One of the teacher also shared that the children
participate more than before.

And not to forget the
best part, Children are having FUN with the toys !!!

Founded in August 2004, our motto is to provide every economically-disadvantaged child an equal opportunity to education, achieved through healthy play and games.
